WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
"Josh Lefkowitz is smart, funny, with a gentle streak of hell-fire anger. My kind of guy!" -- Eric Bogosian
Access Theater, in association with Blue Coyote Theater Group, presents the NY premiere of Help Wanted: A Personal Search for Meaningful Employment at the Start of the 21st Century, Josh Lefkowitz's valentine to Spalding Gray.
Lefkowitz gives an epic, tour-de-force performance in an original and engaging show by this rising-star monologist. Fresh out of college, the writer/performer was a struggling actor, working as a parking lot attendant when he was introduced to the work of Spalding Gray. Gray's compelling and deeply personal monologues influenced Lefkowitz so greatly, that he embarked on a quest to meet his icon. A hilariously captivating look at hero worship and dissolution, Help Wanted... was part of the Single File Festival in Chicago (where it was called "bristling smart" by the Chicago Sun Times), part of Woolly Mammoth's Playground Playwrights Series and received a workshop production during Dixon Places' Under Construction Series.
Added performances on Monday, March 20 and Tuesday, March 28.

Spalding Gray is Josh Lefkowitz's last great hero. One of Lefkowitz's professors had told him that, "once you turn 20, you'll have no more hero-worship; only peers." On the eve of his 20th birthday, Lefkowitz pored over Gray's published canon. The following day -- September 11, 2001 -- he left his childhood behind. In his autobiographical solo show Help Wanted, subtitled "a personal search for meaningful employment at the start of the 21st century," the now 24-year-old writer/performer presents a bittersweet coming of age tale about heroes, disappointments, and the struggle to become an artist.
More than any other figure, Gray popularized the genre of autobiographical solo performance; seve[...]
